Man jailed over racist graffiti at Salford flat

    A man has been jailed for daubing racist graffiti on the front door of a family’s house at a block of flats in Salford.

    Vaughan Dowd, 54, wrote “no blacks” on Jackson Yamba's home in Salford, five days after they had had moved in.

    Dowd, of Irlam Square, Salford, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to racially aggravated criminal damage.

    He was jailed at Manchester Crown Court for 12 months.
